Rebels Revisited: 5 Essential Sabine Wren Episodes
Featured

Looking for a way to introduce Star Wars
Rebels to your friends? Or perhaps you’d like to revisit
key moments from the series before it returns? Look no further
than Rebels Revisited.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll be providing five episodes
worthy of a re-watch (or a first watch) all centered around the
journey of one member of the Ghost crew — to get
you back into that Rebels state of mind. In case
you missed it, check out the first post on
Ezra Bridger.

In this installment… Sabine Wren, whose art helped accelerate
the spark of rebellion across the galaxy and whose heart helped her
to overcome a difficult past. Sabine has become the very model of a
modern Mandalorian over four seasons of Star Wars Rebels,
and these episodes depict her growth beautifully.

1. “Blood Sisters” (Season 2, Episode 8)

Sabine’s murky past begins to clear up when she encounters her
old friend Ketsu Onyo. They soon find themselves on opposite sides
when Sabine discovers they’re after the same droid…for much
different reasons. For the audience, it’s the first time we’ve
really gotten details about Sabine’s past. And for the character,
it’s the first real indicator that she won’t be able to run from
that past forever.

2. “The Antilles Extraction” (Season 3, Episode
4)

No episode of Rebels better showcases the versatility
of Sabine Wren than “The Antilles Extraction.” Artist, pilot,
soldier, spy…her Mandalorian upbringing truly shines as she
infiltrates the Empire’s Skystrike Academy on a mission to help
three pilots defect to the Rebel Alliance and delivers what has
become my favorite Sabine line from the series (and a great GIF):
“That’s cute.”

For three seasons, Sabine Wren had been a character on the run
from her past. In this episode, she stops running. In one of
Star Wars Rebels’ most emotional scenes, she finally
allows herself to feel the weight of what she left behind on
Mandalore and emerges ready to face what lies ahead.

4. “Legacy of Mandalore” (Season 3, Episode
16)

Sabine’s future begins here, with her return home to rally
Mandalorian support for the rebellion. That also means mending her
relationship with her mother and brother, who are struggling over
the Imperial-led government of Mandalore. It all leads to a
fantastic lightsaber duel between Sabine and Gar Saxon over a
frozen lake, with the fate of their world hanging in the
balance.

5. “Heroes of Mandalore, Parts 1 and 2” (Season 4,
Episodes 1 and 2)

From my point of view, “Heroes of Mandalore” is one episode
(don’t let anyone ever tell you that you can’t pull the same trick twice).
Sabine fulfills her destiny on Mandalore and leads her people to a
great victory that provides them hope that the Empire’s grip on
their planet can be shaken. She also demonstrates incredible
strength of character in her final act there, accepting her place
in the galaxy while giving Mandalore a fighting chance to live.

See where Sabine’s journey takes her next when Star Wars
Rebels returns for its final episodes. Premiering Monday,
February 19 on Disney XD.
